    The balanced equation:

    2 H₂ + O₂ → 2 H₂O

    moles of Hydrogen = mass of hydrogen : molar mass of hydrogen

    = 45.7 g : 2 g/mol

    = 22.85 mol

    Now, the mole ratio of O₂ : H₂ is 1 : 2

    which means that there are two times as much moles of H₂ as O₂ taking

    part in the reaction

    Thus since moles of H₂ = 22.85 mol

    then moles of O₂ = 22.85 : 2 = 11.425 mol

    Mass of O₂ = moles of O₂ * molar mass of O₂

    = 11.425 mol * 32 g/mol

    = 365.6 g

    ∴ grams of oxygen are needed to react with 45.7 grams of hydrogen is 365.6g
